    Miami is #2? Suddenly I question the entire methodology here…

      The scores are probably relative to the rest of the state. Do you remember the smartest man alive in Idiocracy? Similar conditions to that…

      For real though… There are usually tech clusters around fiber connections into the U.S. so that is likely a major contributor. (I have been to Akamai’s NOC/SOC in Miami, actually.)

      I questioned the methodology as soon as I learned that Seattle was even in the running.

      Fine people here. But, smartest? mmmffff

        Seattle Metro I could see… Microsoft, Nintendo, Boeing, Amazon, lots of smart people there.

      I mean it’s 100% the smartest part of Florida but that is a really low bar to clear

        I dunno… the Imagineers in Orlando should put it above Miami, shouldn’t it? 🤔

          The rest of that metro area brings it down considerably

      I think there’s a lot of fintech in Florida. PwC for instance.

    Austin would have been higher on the list, but but Elon Musk and Joe Rogan recently moved there.
